A local 15-year-old, Demetrius Murphy, was shot and killed last Friday while allegedly breaking into a home. Another case of a young man--our very future--tragically taken from us as a consequence of one bad decision on his part? Perhaps not, according to Fox 2 St. Louis:

In fact, FOX2 has learned, he was once charged in the case that made the phrase knockout game common in St. Louis.

Demetrius Murphy, 15, died Friday morning after he and another teen, Michael Bryant, allegedly tried to break into a mans home on Tennessee. Police say the homeowner emerged with a gun. Bryant ran, but they say Murphy confronted him and was shot and killed.

We have talked about the "knockout game" before, after a mob of feral teenagers, allegedly including young Demetrius, put a man, Matt Quain, in intensive care--just for "fun." For those unfamiliar with this form of "recreation," here is Wikipedia's entry about it, and this is how St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner described it then:

Leave it to the Daily Mail to tell us poor black Demetrius, (killed by a white man naturally) was a retard, omit his knockout-game playing past and then lock the comments section to prevent any clarification on the issue.

Yeah...”generous” — isn’t that the most sickening thing you’ve read today? Our exalted royals, deigning to grant us “generous” permission to use 10 bullets. We should all bow down, kiss his robe, and profusely thank him for his generosity to us peons.

15 Yo had 3 kids and he is mentally disabled????????????? Ya gotta be kidding me... Sick.. We are probably supporting his baby momma and his 3 kids too. Will they now get more money because there daddy died??

There is another foolish comment to the original article regarding the use of a shotgun:

John Vastine · McCluer High School

the whole point is you do not need assault weapons or multi round clips for protection, i have a single shot 410 shot gun loaded that in a house where you are shooting no more than ten feet will blow a hole in someone the size of a saucer, so home defense is a useless argument cause you don't want to give up your toys

A single shot .410 against a band of 12 to 18 half-crazed home invaders?

Good Luck!

Thanks in part to Jerky Joe Biden there is a growing beief that you do not need to aim a shotgun or have one capable of holding more than two cartridges. Joe tells us that a shotgun will magically dispurse everyone within sight. Supposedly firing one or two shotgun cartridges at a gang of inner city 'yoots' will either injure or scare so many of them that the ones still able to walk or run will instantly repent and run home to mama.

Actually, at ten feet from the evil-doer the .410 shotgun load will barely start to open up and will require some care in aiming to hit a specific target.

As an example, here is a graphic of a .410 load of 000 Buckshot at 21 feet for comparison:

And I'm supposed to care about any events in the black community, why? You and me both.I hated the Jim Crow laws and thought the civil rights act was a good thing.Fifty years later and I couldn't care less if "black america" disappeared.

Blacks in America have squandered more opportunities than any people in history. They rebelled against being segregated at all levels of culture, but because of their behavior, are going to succeed in getting themselves segregated all over again. Pathetic.

I had my wife’s computer in the shop yesterday and got into an interesting conversation with the gentleman who does my computer repairs. He related to me that he had heard of young 15 year old black high school girls discussing getting pregnant by design, how many babies they were planning out of wedlock and how much money they would get from welfare. This is the source of the feral blacks we have today—planned welfare fraud.

This is the source of the feral blacks we have todayplanned welfare fraud.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I don’t think it is ‘fraud’ in the way WE think fraud.

This has become a life style which is now moving into the 3rd or 4th generation.
Again if ‘WE’ quit glorifying the situation...’Judge Judy’ used to ‘sneer’ back at the term “Single parent” and if established it was a ‘no father EVER in the picture’ she would rain down on therm.
Either she is getting old(er) or found it futile, but on the other hand, ALL the judge shows are getting in the Springer mode and will expect to see ‘fist fights’ among the ‘actors’.
Heard on the tube the other night (AFTER ANOTHER SENSELESS SHOOTING) and the mother was crying over her 15 yo that was killed in a parking lot at 0dark30 - he was planning on his being a baby daddy and now ‘they’ took that away from him/her.
Remember reading back in the 80’s or so there would be a ‘human interest’ story of some young kid (usually a girl) who would try to do the right thing - enter the work force, ZERO offspring by 18 or 19, but with the meager pay, high cost of living, ‘she’ would move back home and be ‘encouraged’ to have kids as that paid more in the long run than a job.
Right, wrong or indifferent if THAT is what they believed then, only imagine what it is now.
You see ‘everyday’ stories about how the ‘GRANDMOTHER’ is the backbone of the family...Of course this ‘GRANDMOTHER’ is NOT the sweet little old lady ‘we’ grew up around, but a 35-40 yo who had spit out 6 kids by the time she was 21, now the next generation ‘fruit of the loins’ is upon us.
What makes her such an expert when it comes to child rearing? Only 3 of her ‘kids’ didn’t make it to 20?

We have festered such a boil here that once lanced, ‘WE’ will drown when it starts to flow.....

Just took delivery of my PMR 30 last month after a 2 year wait. Its a great little weapon. If nothing else it will scare you to death. Louder than our AK 74 and throws a heckofa flame out of the barrel. Dead accurate too.

“He related to me that he had heard of young 15 year old black high school girls discussing getting pregnant by design, how many babies they were planning out of wedlock and how much money they would get from welfare. This is the source of the feral blacks we have todayplanned welfare fraud.”

They bash smokers for the costs they add to the healthcare system but ignore the larger costs to society by out of wedlock children raised without intact families. Factor in the cost of the crimes they commit on the justice system, prisons, the number of murders, welfare payments, food stamps, rent, etc., its astronomical. They are a huge drain on society but no one dare says anything about addressing the origin of the ferals.

(Obama being re-elected is the political equivalent of OJ being found not guilty.)

As a teacher that has taught at an all-black school, that’s the saddest thing about our culture: the fact that we legitimize a musical genre that destroys families, ridicules the legitimate roles of men and women, glorifies violence and aberrant behavior, and is simply now a (at best) mediocre art form.

Black males should have happy, productive lives like everyone else, but the music industry and Democrat policies refuse to allow them to.

this "rapping" as an art is just plain stupid. All ya' gotta' do is talk fast and incomprehensibly,

Actually you have to think of something to say, and sometimes to improvise on the spot, and sometimes to respond with improvisation to what other people have said. And to be entertaining. So undoubtedly there are some people doing this who are extremely intelligent. But there is a wide gradation of participants because there is less barrier to entry than having to learn an instrument for instance.

How in the hell did "rapping" become a vocational star to seek? Just mindless!

A lot of people think they can be singers or rock musicians. Or politicians. A lot of young people crave fame and the perceived benefits that come with it without honestly considering if they really have the unusual level of talent required to actually be paid for their chosen activity.

The ability to compose poetry extemporaneously used to be held in high esteem. Maybe that's not so different from rapping.
